You don't see that old slogan in the Republican papers any more—not even in the standpat organs. Truly time and Republican policies work wonders. After all, it was not necessary for the delegates from the Eastern states to the Democratic national convention to be instructed at home. That little matter can be attended to at Denver.

Just because it had it in its power to do so, the paper trust decided to take $60,000,000 a year more from consumers. And a Republican congress (which includes one James Watson of Indiana) has refused to change the tariff on paper—the only remedy for the abuse. Standpat editors (as well as others) should sit up and take notice. The Fairbanks machine papers v leave nothing unsaid that is calculated to injure Senator Beveridge and to lessen his influence in the Republican party. They are now broadly intimating that he supported President Roosevelt’s request for four new battleships (to cost

>10,000,000 each) because he was induced to do so by the steel trust. Some Republicans in New York organized what they called “A Better Times Association,” and Intended to send a million postal cards to the chairman of the Republican national committee —each card to be sent by a different member of the association. So far the chairman has received only twenty cards. It is not postal cards but votes for the Democratic ticket that will bring "better times.” The attention of the Republican editors who, like their Democratic brethren, are paying exorbitant prices to the paper trust for their print, paper, is called to the fact that all of the Democratic members

of congress signed a petition to Speaker Cannon signifying their readiness to vote to place wood pulp and print paper on the free list. If only thirty Republican members had Joined them the thing could have been done. But not even Jim Watson or Charlie Berry Landis or Crumpacker or any other Republican congressman came forward. The distress among the unemployed at Indianapolis Js so extreme that the city authorities, in response to a public demand, decided to give men work on the streets. When this fact was announced the crowd that appeared clamoring for work was so great that scarcely one out of twenty could be provided for. And Indianapolis is probably better off than most cities of its size, from which it may be Inferred that the general business depression caused by the panic shows no sign of improvement. But not a’ word did the Indiana Republicans say about these things in their platform. It was different, however, In 1894, when they falsely charged the Democratic party with responsibility for the McKinley tariff panic of 1893.

The Republican national convention when It meets in Chicago June 15 will have more contesting delegations than any national convention ever had before. Most of them come from the South, where Taft, Foraker and Fairbanks have struggled desperately for votes. It is said that immense sums of money and all sorts of influences have been used in the efforts to get votes for one or another candidate. Practically every convention called to elect delegates began with a riot, proceeded for a time in riot and broke up in riot. It is admitted on all sides that no such disgraceful doings were ever witnessed before, anywhere. The friends of all the other candidates with perpetrating every conceivable kind of political fraud, and it appears that all of them are telling the truth about each other. What possible good can come out of the Republican national convention?

ROOSEVELT, FAIRBANKS AND FUGITIVE TAYLOR.

The following report of a Republican convention held in Vanceburg, Ky., on April 25 is interesting for several reasons: •’“The courthouse was not large enough to hold the crowd, and an adjournment was had to the yard so that a count could be made. W. C. Halbert was chairman and M. O. Wilson secretary. Resolutions were introduced indorsing Roosevelt and Willson. Former Congressman S. J. Pugh urged the convention to instruct for Taft for the presidency, but did not accomplish anything, the Taft men losing by three to one. In his speech Pugh said that President Roosevelt claimed that Fairbanks is a reactionary and a millionaire, not in sympathy with the common people. He referred to the political trouble at Frankfort in 1900, and said Roosevelt was a better friend of W. S. Taylor than Fairbanks. Secretary Taft, he said, would carry out the president’s policies, but would perhaps not be so impulsive as Roosevelt. He also said that Representative Crumpacker of Indiana had told him that Indiana was not for Fairbanks, but would compliment him by its vote, and that the people of his district were not at heart for Fairbanks." To fully understand the reference to W. S. Taylor it should be said that the Fairbanks part of the convention was asking support for him on the ground that he had been “a

good friend of Taylor’s,” Taylor being a fugitive from justice under Indictment charging that he was accessory to the assassination of Governor Goebel, The rest of the article explains Itself. It shows what Roosevelt thinks of Fairbanks and also what Congressman Crumpacker of the Tenth District thinks of him.

THE ELECTION OF BRYAN.

The Indianapolis Sun, which, under its present management, is independent in politics, says this about Mr. Bryan: “There is one man in the Democratic party who is in full accord with and who was the original advocate of many of the most popular things that Mr. Roosevelt has undertaken. He is the choice of the masses of all the parties as well as the Democratic party, and for this reason William Jennings Bryan is going to be nominated at Denver in July and elected at the polls in November by a repetition of the popular vote which was accorded Mr. Roosevelt.” Not only the Indianapolis Sun, but most of the other really independent newspapers express the same opinion. Such hold as Mr. Roosevelt has had upon the people of the country has come from his espousal of certain policies put forth by the Democratic party and Mr. Bryan long before Roosevelt became president. To the extent that he has steadfastly adhered to such policies the president has been approved by the people. In many things, however, he has fallen short of his opportunities and his duties. He has been a Republican before he was anything better. This has handicapped him and has practically destroyed his usefulness. But Mr. Bryan stands for all of the great reforms which X-.———. the people are determined to bring about. He is supported by his own party and will receive the votes of hundreds of thousands of persons from other parties. He is, of all the men in the United States, the one who can be absolutely trusted by the people to do the things they want done and in the way that they want them. No map in the Republican party can do this.

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

The democratic party will go into the campaign this year without the support of a single metropolitan newspaper east of the Mississippi river, with possibly one or two exceptions. Tpusts and combinations have not confined their work to congress, courts, legislatures, federal and state officers. These men early saw the importance of reaching the people directly, and this could be done best and most surely through the dally paper. Even the great news-gathering associations are controlled and the news censor-

ed by these same men. Very little news that makes unpleasant reading for the powers that be, or their lackeys, is allowed to appear in print. Notwithstanding all this, the local press, that comes directly in contact with its readers and reflects the sentiment of the plain people more nearly than any other, has with few exceptions remained steadfast, and the real work of educating voters In the measures that will give relief to the plain'people and determine the election In November, upon which such mighty results hang. Roosevelt has recommended the removal of the duty on wood pulp, a material from which all newspaper is made, so as to reduce the price of this material. But one must be stone blind not to see that this is only a sop thrown to the newspaper men who of all others are entitled to least consideration. They more than any other set of men created the condition which has become almost intolerable and which has almost doubled the price of print paper. And the very papers that are now so bitter in their opposition to democratic candidates and democratic measures assisted nobly in this work. The Democrat has, and will remain steadfast, and will come to all Its readers twlce-a-week after June 1 during the campaign, chock full of readable, reliable news, so that when you see It In The Democrat you can depend upon it being so.

THINKS WATSON WILL HAVE A HARD TIME.

Edward Brown, who Is In charge of the Indiana agent* of the American Central Life Insurance Company and who has had an exceptional opportunity to know the sentiment politically over the entire state Is of the opinion that James E. Watson will have a hard time to win over his popular opponent Henry Marshall and so expressed himself in Hammond today. Even the republicans in the central and southern part of the state where Watson is supposed to be the strongest are fearful of the outcome and look upon his opponent as a dangerous man. This is especially true in the - portions of the state where the labor vote is strong and among the negroes who resent the Brownville affair and oppose Watson because he Is an administration man.—Lake County Times (Rep.)

CURE THE CAUSE.

How to Remedy Mach of the SufferIn Rensselaer. Half of the sickness and suffering in Rensselaer comes from a weak stomach. Cure he cause by using Ml-o-na Stomach Tablets and be well and happy. Even the most chronic cases yield to Ml-o-na. W. C. Worrell, connected with the Lake Shore Railroad for yearfe, says: “For fifteen years I had acute stomach/ trouble and nothing helped me. A friend recommended Ml-o-na and two boxes entirely cured me.” Cure the cause of your suffering and be well and happy. If the stomach is weak and you have indigestion, flatulence, dizziness, headache, etc., get a 50-cent box of Mi-o-na from B. F. Fendig. They give an absolute guarantee to refund the money unless Mi-o-na cures.

ANNOUNCEMENT. The Democrat To'Be Issued Twice-a-Week Beginning June 1, When Subscription Will Be Raised to $1.50 Per Year, But — All New Subscriptions and Renewals Prior To That Date Will Be Received at Old Price of SI.OO Per Year. Commencing with June i The Democrat will be issued twice-a-week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Wednesday issue will be printed either Tuesday morning or Tuesday afternoon, while the Saturday issue will be printed Friday afternoon the same as at present. The paper will therefore reach all postoffices in the county Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, and Friday evening or Saturday morning. The Wednesday issue will, for the present, consist of four pages of six columns each, 24 columns, and the Saturday issue of eight pages, 48 columns, the same as now. Each issue will be all home print and in addition to city and county news, country correspondence, etc., will contain up-to-date telegraphic news from all over the country, state news, markets, etc., and will make The Democrat nearly twice as good as it is at present—and it now enjoys the distinction of being one of the best county papers published in this section of the state. This move has been contemplated for some time, and now that we have a new Standard Linotype and other equipment sufficient to get out a daily’ of no mean pretensions should the field at any time justify it, we feel that it is time to put the long contemplated move into operation. By this change we will be able to get the local and county news to our readers in a little fresher state and the addition of telegraphic news, markets, etc., will give our farmer readers almost as good a general news service as though it were a daily—in fact all the news will be there, and boiled down for the busy reader. This move will mean an extra expense of about SIOO per month, and to meet this the subscription price will be raised to $1.50 per year, while advertising rates will£be advanced where the advertising goes in both issues. We want to add at least 500 new subscribers to our already big list by the time we begin the twice-a-week, and in order to get them quickly We make the following extraordinary offer: All new subscriptions or renewals (for one year only) received prior to June i will be taken at $1 per year! Think of it, 104 papers for $1.00! Less than one cent a copy! All subscriptions now paid in advance will be carried out with the twice-a-week paper, but after June I, 1908, NO RENEWALS WILL BE RECEIVED NOR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS TAKEN FOR LESS THAN $1.50 PER YEAR. Act quickly if you want to “get in” on this remarkable offer. Send or bring in your subscription or renewal and get the first year’s issue of 104 papers for only $1.00! This offer lasts but four weeks, remember, and now is the time to “nail it.” We expect to make the new paper “worth while” and we want all our old subscribers who may be in arrears or whose subscription soon expires to come in and renew and tell their neighbor who doesn’t take the paper about this great offer. Only $1.35 will get the twice-a-week issue and the handsome and useful Wall Chart we have been telling you about, until June T, or as long as the supply of charts’now on hand lasts.
